I know, it's cliché to talk about using the camera you have on you....

So, let’s talk about the benefits of using the camera on you. One of the most significant advantages is that it's always available. Most likely, your smart phone. Whether you're out and about, on vacation, or simply taking a walk, you can quickly capture a moment without having to carry around a dedicated camera. The convenience of having a camera on you means you're never caught without a way to capture a moment.

Another benefit is that using the camera on you can be an excellent way to develop your photography skills. Photography is a skill that takes time to develop, and using the camera on you can provide you with an opportunity to practice regularly. By taking pictures every day, you can learn about composition, lighting, and other elements that go into creating great photos.

However, the most important part about creativity when it comes to photography is the process. Enjoying the process of taking photos is what makes it fun and engaging. It's not about taking the perfect shot every time; it's about experimenting, trying new things, and learning from your mistakes.

When you enjoy the process of taking photos, you're more likely to try new things and experiment with different techniques. You'll start to see things in a new light, and you'll be more attuned to your surroundings. You'll notice the little details that make a scene interesting, and you'll be more likely to capture those moments.
